It was Miami’s first blowout loss under coach Brian Flores since Week 3 of the 2019 season, a humbling one for a blossoming franchise.
There’s no shame in Miami’s 56-26 loss to the Buffalo Bills, which contributed to the Dolphins missing the playoffs this season after the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts delivered wins Sunday that sealed each team’s AFC wild-card spot.
But Sunday’s game shows just how much work the Dolphins brass must do to improve their still developing team, especially on offense because Sunday’s beatdown showed that the Bills and the Dolphins are in the same division, but in different leagues.
